Absolutely gorgeous

Room was clean, had a great view, very big and the bed was really comfy. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area and always happy to answer questions. We had dinner the first night and it was delicious and staff were really great, even offering to light the fire in their big lounge so we could just sit and chill out. There is a lot of charm in some of the old and original decor in the lounge which is kept up well and was super cool to have a look at. If you're looking for some real old school decor and a really friendly place to be, I totally recommend this place. The views are to die for!

Fabulous getaway with no long drive from Auckland

It was a real surprise hidden away down a long bush-flanked drive which meant we had a bit of trouble finding it. But it was well worth it as the grounds and our room were immaculate and we loved our stay. The views were fantastic! We ate at the restaurant and really enjoyed the food. The icing on the cake was when a young couple dining next door came over to talk to us as both our parties were celebrating birthdays. 🙂

Second Time

My girlfriend and I had high tea a couple of months back and was taken how great the location, service, food, and ambiance of the place. I decided to come back with my husband and we had a wonderful stay. The breakfast was very good, the staff were friendly and polite. My husband, who is at times can be hard to impress, said we will definitely book again !
